Course XLVII - Teaching 15: Words by the Knight Great Master at the Solemn Vow Ceremony of Miss Maria Esther (May 12th, 1956)

The Divine Incarnation has chosen predestined souls before the Creation of the world. The Divine Incarnation took them as Wives in order to help him redeem the world, and to be Co-Redeemers of souls.
The soul is not but entirely divine: it has the touch of the Divine Mother’s Son. How does vocation flourish and wake up in the soul? We see a girl trustfully walking with her mother and suddenly everything is changed because this girl became a woman. The flame of her vocation woke up –it is a vocation that she brings in her soul since the moment when the Divine Incarnation chose her. Before, her mother’s hand guided her, but now she is self-contained, because the divine support woke in her up.
It is then when the family world, her parents and all are against her, and she has to struggle and to defend herself. When Lohengrin marries Elsa, he acts like that on the condition that she never asks about his name, but she is tempted and yields, and then loses her Divine Lover. Divine things have no human explanations.
Maria Esther: you should have no heart any more. Leave the Divine Husband to snatch it off and replace it with his own heart. Ramakrishna said that he had no heart because he had surrendered it to the Divine Mother.
May every moment that you are far from Him be a moment of agony; may your entire consolation be to stay close to your Husband. From now on your life shall be to die at every moment in order to conquer the Eternal Life. Put your hands upon the palms of your Husband’s hands, and feel the blood of His wound, lean your forehead on His thorns, and bring your heart close to your Divine Husband’s heart to feel its beats of love. Carry upon your shoulders the dead body of your Husband, the body of misery, pain and tears of poor beings of the world, and share the Divine Husband’s sufferings.
Before the Creation, you have been chosen for Wife of the Divine Incarnation. Those souls called to be Co-Redeemers are created with the Divine Incarnation before suns and before any possibilities to think about the Humanity. Raise the Body of your Divine Husband. He has passed away. See His pale face, and His eyes filled with blood and tears. These eyes refuse to see for those that look at the vanities of the world. Incline your forehead to touch His forehead with thorns, and then vain thoughts shall fade away. Put your arms upon His shoulders and feel the weight of these arms for mothers and for sick and dying persons. Embrace him and feel the beat of His heart; this way you shall enter his Heart and His Wound, and the flame of His pain and love shall cover you. You have no heart any more, Maria Esther. Do as Ramakrishna or as Anne of Jesus did; in a loving rapture she gave Him her heart not to have her own heart any more. Do as the Hindu widows, who take the body of their dead husband, and ascend together to the pyre. Take the body of your Husband, and go up. From now on, you are dead.
Your Husband is a Divine God. Do not forget that He died for your redemption. One instant (do I say one instant?) is enough to transform all into a torment when you far from to him.
Get up, Daughter, and come to marry the Divine Incarnation, the Maitreya. Our love has only one face. Today you know His name. Our love is unique, and has only one window, only one door. This love cannot be shared. Your Vows of today are just a promise and a hope that you are going to see when you breathe your last.
